Revlon Grape Fizz is part of the limited collection of fruit scented polishes released last year. The particles in this are somewhere in between glass flecks and flakies
in size... I'd classify them as flakies. Most of the shades require
quite a few layers, but applying them over a creme works well. I layered
Grape Fizz over a black creme - the black really brings out the
different flakie colours. It's mainly medium purple and blueish-purple flakies, with a bit of red in there.

The polish starts to smell like artificial grape
bubble gum almost as soon as it hits the nail - it's a nice change from
butyl acetate! The scent hangs around for a few days too. I personally
love the smell (it's kind of nostalgic), but if you don't, this polish
is really not for you!

I don't usually pay too much attention to Revlon polish and where I live we don't get special collections in always. But this part of last yr's scented group (the Fizzes) I really went nuts for and even got some dupes. I am not big on glitter but I like these. My favs and ones I tend to go back to a lot are Grapefruit Fizz (a med pink) and Pina Colada (or maybe it's called Colada - forgetting here) - it looks like an aqua blue in the bottle but goes on the nail a bit different - kind of blue, kind of a little iridescent at times. I don't use the orange and yellow ones much. Did not seem these were around my area very long. They went right into some other scented ones for summer 2011 that were frosty opaques. I don't think any of them smell like anything but polish smell!
